I'm not sure what you call a hill, but the H can be relied on to stay upright pretty well. If the wheels are dished in, and slid in, they need to be respected. if the wheels are dished out, and about a hand width out on the axles, they are nice and stable. Pure side hill, is less dangerous than going at a shallow angle down hill while turning up hill. That position has the most wt. across the line of the imaginary line between the front tire, and the rear on the down hill side. Up hill is not as troublesome. If I had an inclinometer (from an RV store) to look at I would be nervous at 15 degrees going down hill as above. If I was straight down, or up no wories till about 25 degrees. Going slow is good, turning sharp is bad. Wheel wts on the rear and liquid (favorite is windshield washer fluid, or Beet juce) also incerase confidence. My brothers and I drove Hs around country road gravel corners (90 degree) wide open, just letting the tires drift in the stones. THIS is NOT recommended, but they are more stable than appearances would indicate. If you want to really know, jack one back tire up on a flat concrete surface. Let it down on a platform scale. Then jack it some more and build up under the scale one foot and get a measure of the Wt. Jack and weigh, until the scale has fallen about about 50 % in the wt on that tire. Serious tilt can occur. Be safe, JimN
